Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere 0.21 g (9.3 mmol) sodium were added batchwise to 50 mL MeOH. After the sodium had dissolved completely, 1.0 g (3.1 mmol) of 6-(2,6-dichloro-pyridine-4-carbonyl)-4-methyl-3H-benzoxazol-2-one were added and the mixture was refluxed for 5 h. Then the reaction mixture was evaporated down i. vac., the residue was combined with 50 mL water and the precipitated solid was suction filtered. This was washed with a little water and dried.
